I recently got an 05 raptor 350. Its not what I wanted but I couldn't pass up the deal. I'm somwhat of a beginner but I like to hit jumps and ride wheelies. I know I need at least a slip on and an air filter, but other than that, what should I do to the quad to make it a decent freestyle machine. I already got better handle bars but thats it.

If possible, please let me know the approximate cost of products you recomend. I'm trying to keep it around 1000$ including whatever pipe and filter I get. I dont want to get too expensive because I know that I will get a 450 when I can afford one.

Oh ya, I also got a better grab bar off ebay that hasn't come in yet.

so far idk price's but i heard hmf makes a good pipe for the 350.
airfilter i like twin air my self.
and really for freestyle i think shocks and a-arms would be need but u say ur getting a 450 so pipe and filter will be good.. o yea dont foget to jet it..

and then that thing will be :Y sick.

I heard that if you have a durablue axle and bend it that they will replace it for free.

Freestyle upgrade....

definitely switch the rear swing arm and the front shocks out to a set of elkas with the linkage package.

Also, I use a pair of handlebars off a little honda 80...they're small and I can get my legs over them quicker for knack knacks and heel clickers.

thats a good trick their rico, never heard of that, 80 handle bars......

Just remember not to land two hard on the 80 handlebars. If you're a big guy like me, they'll probably snap like a twig.
